The Ideal Young Korean Male -- Revealed

The Ideal Young Korean Male -- Revealed



A plastic surgeon has published a composite image of the ideal male Korean face. Rhee Seung-chul, the head of plastic surgery at Hanil General Hospital, made the image from the faces of 16 Korean Wave stars. Rhee had earlier done the same thing for women by making a composite image of 19 female stars.
The ideal Korean male consists of bits and pieces from Kang Dong-won, Kwon Sang-woo, Kim Rae-won, Mun Jeong-hyeok, Bae Yong-joon, Jung Ji-hoon, Song Il-gook, Won Bin, Lee Wan, Jang Dong-gun, Jae Hee, Cho In-sung, Jo Hyun-jae, Ji Seong, Ji Jin-hee, and Hyun Bin? all of them popular not only in Korea but in China and Japan as well. He analyzed their faces with a computer program called BAPA, for “balanced angular and proportional analysis.” The result is a slim face with chiseled cheekbones and a clear chin, big eyes, a long nose and long, thin upper lip.

"According to the beauty theory that says the average of all the most preferred faces is the most beautiful, I made the new-generation handsome face by using the faces of stars that young Internet users like most,” Rhee said.

Although the composite image man is good looking, I prefer the real Korean actor one^ ^

Taiwanese Actress Presents Jae Hee with Inline Skates - 2005/07/18

Actor Jae Hee, who is visiting Taiwan to promote the KBS series "Sassy Girl, Chun-hyang", received a surprise gift -- inline skates -- from Taiwanese actress Ady An on July 11 at a press conference held in a department store.

An, who gained popularity for her role in a Taiwanese epic drama, bought a pair of inline skates for Jae after he told local reporters in an interview on July 10 that his hobby was inline skating.

Jae had previously received an offer to star in a television drama and record an album from Taiwanese broadcaster GTV, which is currently running "Sassy Girl, Chun-hyang". He declined the offer, saying he was not ready to take on those new challenges at this point.

However, the actor did accept an offer to model in a couple of TV commercials in Taiwan. He will star in the commercials and later fly to Japan to promote his drama after finishing the filming of his upcoming movie "The Art of Fighting" in August.

Arts of fighting (2005)

There is an opinion in some quarters that violence and comedy cannot go hand in hand. Yet in some movies they can, and that's what director Sin Han-sol seems to have had in mind when he sharpened the plot for "Art of Fighting" (Ssaumui gisul).

This is the kind of movie where viewers laugh occasionally and grimace the rest of the time. But the title is somewhat misleading. It is neither a serious martial arts movie nor a full-blown comedy.

The reason for the film's ambivalent identity lies largely in the equally confusing characteristics of Oh Man-su, a "legendary fighter". The character is played by Baek Yoon-sik, a veteran actor whose popularity is literally soaring among Korean moviegoers after showing off his renewed vigor as a notorious swindler in "The Big Swindle", a 2004 hit movie directed by Choi Dong-hoon.

In "Art of Fighting", Baek turns into a sort of hermit-cum-fighter who seems both a hero and a villain. His fighting skills appear relentless - even profound - and yet his way of teaching his skills seems a total sham. He acts seriously and yet the very seriousness makes it all the more funny. Of course, the disparate features stand out dramatically largely due to the peculiar image forged by actor Baek. Kudos to Baek's overall charismatic acting. His subtle, knowing smile, for instance, is irresistibly charming and playful though he's actually 58, and even his "I'm-not-very-sorry" farting parade in a steamy sauna room is fiercely dramatic.

The only drawback, unfortunately, also results from director Shin's heavy dependence on the personal charms of Baek. Other characters are sidelined, and even the storyline itself is less meaningful than the director has originally intended.

The story revolves around the mentor-and-protege format. Mentor Oh Man-su is a mysterious man who happens to stay in a room at a shabby reading room where Korean students pay to study for exams. Song Byeong-tae (Jae Hee) is a fragile high school boy whose primary goal in life is not to be beaten at school - at least not that much.

Byeong-tae is the undisputed living punching bag for his friends, who could otherwise be described as ruthless bullies. Never a day passes without him getting punched and kicked by his classmates.

Byeong-tae attempts to find a breakthrough by faithfully attending a martial arts school and furiously reading martial arts books. But the fighting instinct does not harden in Byeong-tae's heart which is easily scared, even by the hint of a punch.

A glimmer of hope, Byeong-tae thinks, can be found in the mysterious man Man-su, who emits some inexplicable aura of a fighting master, though he usually spends away his time reading comic books.

Byeong-tae uses all the tricks he knows to become Man-su's student, but the master is not a person you can buy with simple begging. Byeong-tae, it turns out, has to offer money - lots of it - to get the lessons.

"Hey, you got money? You know, you need lots of money to become a fighter. Just how much money you need if you break your enemy's tooth? Fighting is a costly business", Man-su says, with an earnestness sparking in his playful eyes.

Byeong-tae has no other option. So he pays for his master's lunch and does other sundry work, which Man-su says is part of a special program.

And other training starts in a bewildering fashion that only fits in with an unabashed comedy. Man-su reveals his secret of maintaining powerful stamina: he steals a bottle of milk on the street while jogging. Man-su's unique reasoning: "In life, there is no such thing as 'that is yours and this is mine'."

His innocent and faithful student follows the master's stern instruction - "Spare the milk, spoil the child". Byeong-tae steals the milk bottle but sooner rather than later he gets caught by the delivery men. He gets beaten by the angry delivery men. Indeed, Byeong-tae beefs up his strength by continuing to steal the milk and also continuing to get thrashed.

Another of Man-su's special skills is throwing a coin to enemies a la Jang Chong-chan, a main character in the 1980s series "Human Market" by novelist Kim Hong-shin. Man-su showcases the trick by targeting a spot on the wall and actually hitting the zone with razor-sharp precision.

In the actual fighting with his school bullies, Byeong-tae smiles and finally throws the 500-won coin at his archrival. The coin indeed hit the target - a deserted bottle nearby, not the real enemy. While the bullies are approaching, Byeong-tae is about to try again, but all the coins he has suddenly drop on the ground. The result: he gets smacked hard.

There are two different levels of violence in this movie. The first is Man-su's violence. He doesn't think fighting is a legitimate and fair game. The means can be justified as long as you can achieve the goal of winning the battle. So throwing sand toward enemies is perfectly OK. In other words, Man-su is not a fighter who can be respected and praised in a school textbook.

The second level of violence is rampant in the school. All the students seem to engage in habitual bullying and physical abuse. Weaklings suffer and mafia-like bullies dominate the school scene. Even teachers tend to live with the notion that battering students as a punishment is perfectly OK.

So many violent scenes are inserted into the supposedly comic movie that the filmmakers had a hard time getting the rating for 15-year-olds or older. Although the director intended to reflect his critical view of such violent-laden school culture, it is still a matter of dispute whether the realistic fighting scenes are gratuitous.

The clue is the dictum that fighting master Man-su dispenses for Byeong-tae is, "The real art in fighting is winning it without actually fighting with your enemy". The same rule can be applied to the movie itself. Perhaps, if the movie had criticized violence without indulging in too much violence, it might have been the real art of filmmaking.

Jae Hee in Evil Twin film

2007/05/17 Hancinema
Source : www.donga.com



The title of the upcoming horror film, "Evil Twin", alone, shows the audacity of the director, as the title is exactly the same as that of a representative Korean horror drama.

Although "Evil Twin" is director Kim Ji-hwan's directorial debut, he is a renowned horror film expert among Korean filmmakers. Kim has displayed his genuine affection towards the so-called "cursed genre" while writing horror film columns in "FILM 2.0" magazine, based on his experience from watching several thousand horror movies.

Historic Korean horror movies – best represented by "A Public Cemetery of Wolha" – disappeared after the 1986 movie "Woman`s Wail". Ghost movies such as "Whispering Corridors" and "A Tale of Two Sisters", set in modern times, replaced them. Kim stated his aspiration of returning to the true roots of Korean horror movies.

So-yeon (Park Sin-hye, 17), who survives alone after falling into a body of water with her twin sister, Hyo-jin, at a village in the Joseon period, regains her memory ten years later. However, mysterious serial killings start to take place upon So-yeon's recovery.

So-yeon's mother (Yang Geum-seok) and soon to be husband, Hyun-sik (Jae Hee), are often baffled by So-yeon who sometimes shows the characteristics of her deceased sister after her memory loss. So-yeon also suffers an identity crisis.

The movie whose main motif is Kongjwi Patjwi, a Korean version of the Cinderella story, revolves around So-yeon's identity crisis and the mystery surrounding her identity keeps the audience engaged and guessing until the end of the movie.

Park Sin-hye brilliantly plays both wicked So-yeon and kind-hearted Hyo-jin, demonstrating her potential as a rising star of Korean cinema.

However, the director's lack of experience is evident in the movie. The characters are busy screaming throughout the movie even before the audience feels a chill. This is like repeatedly asking the audience, "That scene was scary, wasn't it?" Taking away from the excitement somewhat. Awkward scenes like a ghost in white mourning clothes hitting her head on a beam because she is too tall or a German shepherd, which obviously did not exist during the Joseon period, fiercely barking on So-yeon, make us wonder if it is a comedy.

"Evil Twin", which has ended up being half a success, teaches us two lessons:

Reviewing movies and making movies are totally different matters. In fact, sticking to the grammar of a genre is more difficult than twisting it. The director must have fully realized this in making the movie. We look forward to his next film.

Han Chae-young and Jae Hee, who play the lead roles in the KBS miniseries "Sassy Girl Chun-hyang," have been named spokespersons of this year's Chun-hyang Festival. They were also named honorary citizens of the city of Namwon, the birthplace of the Legend of Chun-hyang.

"Han Chae-young and Jae Hee have contributed significantly to spreading a positive image of the city of Namwon by playing Chun-hyang and Mon-ryong in 'Sassy Girl Chun-hyang,'" said an official from the Namwon City government.

This year, the Chun-hyang Festival will be held from May 4-8 in Gwanghallu and the Chun-hyang Culture and Arts Center in Namwon.

Han Chae-young, Jae Hee Selected 'Coolest Couple'



Singer Jang Nara staged a showcase of her Chinese debut album on March 26 at 3 p.m. at the Wietan Stadium in Beijing, China. More than 5,000 of her Chinese fans flocked to see their favorite singer on that day.

Han Chae-young and Jae Hee, the co-stars of the KBS miniseries "Sassy Girl Chun-hyang," have been selected as "the coolest television couple" by Internet users.
The poll was conducted by Twentieth Century Fox Korea for one week on the movie websites Nkino and Movist.

The third spot went to Koh Hyun-jeong and Cho In-seong from the drama "Spring Days" (1,163 votes), followed by Kim Hee-seon and Kwon Sang-woo from "Sad Love Story" (739 votes).

"Be Cool!" starring Uma Thurman and John Travolta, opens in Korea on April 8.

Jae Hee Makes Inroads into Taiwan



Young-generation star Jae Hee is poised to emerge as a new hallyu star. He will visit Taiwan on July 10 to promote the series “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang,” in which he plays the lead. The series has been airing in that country since June 4 on GTV as a weekend drama.

During his visit, Jae is determined to do his best to promote “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” by meeting over 100 fans, appearing on a live show on GTV and holding a press conference with over 20 journalists expected from the local media. On July 12 and 13, he will also hold a photo session for his mobile photo album.

After finishing the filming of the movie “The Art of Fight,” where Jae co-stars alongside Baek Yun-shik, in late August, the actor will launch a promotion tour in Japan, where he is known for his role in Kim Ki-deok’s movie “3-Iron.” The tour is expected to further boost Jae’s popularity as a K-pop star in that country.

After returning from Japan, Jae will choose his next role, which is likely to be a big-screen role, according to his agency.

Han Chae-young, Jae Hee Hold Fan Meeting in Tokyo




Actress Han Chae-young and actor Jae Hee, the lead characters of the TV drama "Sassy Girl, Chunhyang," held their first fan meeting at Le Meridien Grand Pacific Hotel in Tokyo on May 1.

Reporting on the fan meeting on May 2, The Sankei Sports introduced the drama as a modern remake of the classic Korean novel "Chunhyang Story." According to the Japanese daily, about 1,200 Japanese fans at the meeting became very excited and gave cheers when Jae Hee ran into the hall.

The daily said that Han, who was visiting Japan for the first time in four years, captivated the heart of attendees by appearing in a white dress that bared her back.

When a large monitor screen at the hall showed a kissing scene from the drama, Han introduced an episode during the filming of the drama, saying, "I feel abashed as I watch it now. During the filming of the kissing scenes, Jae Hee was in a sulk when I didn't open my mouth."

The two stars will return home after having another fan meeting at the same hotel on May 2.

"Sassy Girl, Chunhyang," which is currently being aired on MXTV in Tokyo, will come to a close with its final episode airing on May 3.

Jae Hee back on TV

Jae Hee’s back!

This time, though, he takes on the role of MC for the M.net cable program X-Boyfriend Season 2, which kicks off its run on October 26. When asked if there are any other MCs whose paths he’d aspire to, Jae Hee answered that he’d like to be like the ever-popular MC of MBC’s Ultimate Challenge, Yoo Jae Soek (who’s hosted tons of other variety programs, including X-Man and Love Letter).

Jae Hee said, “When I watch Ultimate Challenge, I think to myself that the shooting must be so crazy. … My goal is to be like Yoo Jae Seok, who hosts so entertainingly.” He also compared his style with prior host, actor Jang Geun Seok: “If Jang Geun Seok’s emceeing was like running on asphalt, mine will have the feel of running on a mountain path.” And no, I’m not exactly sure what that means.
